Safety precautions

To prevent injury or fire, take the

following precautions:

• Insert the unit all the way in until it is fully

locked in place. Otherwise it may fall out of

place when jolted.

• When extending the ignition, battery, or

ground wires, make sure to use automotive-

grade wires or other wires with a 0.75mm

(AWG18) or more to prevent wire

deterioration and damage to the wire coating.

• To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave

any metallic objects (such as coins or metal

tools) inside the unit.

• If the unit starts to emit smoke or strange

smells, turn off the power immediately and

consult your Kenwood dealer.

• Make sure not to get your fingers caught

between the faceplate and the unit.

• Be careful not to drop the unit or subject it to

strong shock.

The unit may break or crack because it

contains glass parts.

• Do not touch the liquid crystal fluid if the LCD

is damaged or broken due to shock. The

liquid crystal fluid may be dangerous to your

health or even fatal.

If the liquid crystal fluid from the LCD

contacts your body or clothing, wash it off

with soap immediately.

2WARNING

To prevent damage to the machine,

take the following precautions:

• Make sure to ground the unit to a negative

12V DC power supply.

• Do not open the top or bottom covers of the

unit.

• Do not install the unit in a spot exposed to

direct sunlight or excessive heat or humidity.

Also avoid places with too much dust or the

possibility of water splashing.

• Do not set the removed faceplate or the

faceplate case in areas exposed to direct

sunlight, excessive heat or humidity. Also

avoid places with too much dust or the

possibility of water splashing.

• To prevent deterioration, do not touch the

terminals of the unit or faceplate with your

fingers.

• Do not subject the faceplate to excessive

shock, as it is a piece of precision equipment.

• When replacing a fuse, only use a new one

with the prescribed rating. Using a fuse with

the wrong rating may cause your unit to

malfunction.

• To prevent a short circuit when replacing a

fuse, first disconnect the wiring harness.

• Do not place any object between the

faceplate and the unit.

• Do not use your own screws. Use only the

screws provided. If you use the wrong

screws, you could damage the unit.

2CAUTION

appearing in this manual are examples used

to explain more clearly how the controls are

used. Therefore, what appears on the display

in the illustrations may differ from what

appears on the display on the actual

equipment, and some of the illustrations on

the display may represent something

impossible in actual operation.

• The functions that can be used and the

information that can be displayed will differ

NOTE

Cleaning the Faceplate Terminals

If the terminals on the unit or faceplate get

dirty, wipe them with a dry, soft cloth.

Cleaning the Unit

If the front panel gets dirty, turn off the

power and wipe the panel with a dry silicon

cloth or soft cloth.

Do not wipe the panel with a hard cloth or a

cloth dampened by volatile solvents such as

paint thinner and alcohol. They can scratch

the surface of the panel and/or cause the

indicator letters to peel off.

2CAUTION

Cleaning the CD Slot

As dust tends to accumulate in the CD slot,

clean it every once in a while. Your CDs can

get scratched if you put them in a dusty CD

slot.

Lens Fogging

Right after you turn on the car heater in cold

weather, dew or condensation may form on

the lens in the CD player of the unit. Called

lens fogging, CDs may be impossible to play.

In such a situation, remove the disc and wait

for the condensation to evaporate. If the unit

still does not operate normally after a while,

consult your Kenwood dealer.

Handling Compact discs

Playing a CD that is dirty, scratched

or warped can cause the sound to

skip and the unit to operate

incorrectly, resulting in worsened

sound quality. Take the following

precautions to prevent your CDs from

getting scratched or damaged.

Handling CDs

• Do not touch the recorded side of the CD

(the side opposite the label) when holding it.

• Do not stick tape on either side of the CD.

Storing CDs

• Do not store CDs in areas exposed to direct

sunlight (such as a car seat or the

dashboard) or other hot places.

• Remove CDs from the unit when not

listening to them for a while, and put them

back in their cases. Do not pile up CDs that

are removed from their cases or prop them

against something.

Cleaning CDs

If a CD has gotten dirty, wipe it off gently

using a commercially available cleaning cloth

or a soft cotton cloth, starting from the

center of the disc and moving outward. Do

not clean CDs with conventional record

cleaners, anti-static formulas, or chemicals

such as paint thinner or benzene.

Checking New CDs for Burrs

When playing a new CD for the first time,

check that there are not any burrs stuck to

the perimeter of the disc or in the central

hole. CDs with burrs stuck on them may not

load properly or may skip while playing.

Remove burrs using a ballpoint pen or a

similar utensil.

Do Not Load CD Accessories

Do not use commercially available CD

accessories that can be loaded into the CD

slot, such as stabilizers, protective sheets, or

CD cleaning discs, since they can cause the

unit to malfunction.

Removing the CD

Only remove the CD from the machine in a

horizontal direction, holding it flat. You may

damage the surface of the CD if you try

pulling it down as it ejects.

Do Not Use Special Shape CDs

• Be sure to use round shape CDs only for this

unit and do not use any special shape CDs.

Use of special shape CDs may cause the

unit to malfunction.

• Be sure to use CDs with disc mark

only for this unit.

Do Not Use CDs with Sticker on the

Labeled Side

Do not use the CD with the label sticker

stuck on it.

Using such a CD may cause the CD to be

deformed and the sticker to peel off,

resulting in malfunction of the unit.
